PNG Images of Header graphic AM2 Can't Post
Hello,
I updated to AM2 last weekend and i am really impressed with its speed and output.
Originally I thought about keeping our "old template design", but I found the default look of AM2 pages very very professional.
As I would like to keep our site in that new AM2 look, I just need to change the basic header (in blue currently) to our companies yellow.
I looked at the header.jpg , but being a jpg makes it a bit difficult to change colors easily (especially the gray shadow left and right).
My question is therefore:

Is there any way to get the original photoshop or png file of the default AM2 template ?

Would be great if you could help me on this.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

We didn't actually create the template (we just modified it to work with Article Manager), so we don't have the original files. However, you can check out styleshout.com, as they're the original creators of the template:

Hi
Developing from this original request.
I have tried to replace the header.jpg (with a black version instead of blue) and menu.jpg (with red instead of green) with my own modified versions. I renamed the originals then uploaded the new ones but when I refreshed site the old header.jpg was back. When I went to view the files in styles>>images directory the original files were back!
Why does this happen?
How does one modify the header.jpg and menu.jpg?
Cheers

Hi PV,

What you've described should work just fine -- I might recommend renaming the original files just so you know they're not there... then upload your new ones.

Article Manager doesn't save those anywhere other than in the .jpg's, so I'm guessing something happened when the files were uploaded and they just didn't overwrite. :)

Hi Donna
As you said it worked. Must have been a cache issue... www.yallaf1.com
Now another one:
How to change the color of the links font?
They are now blue and gree - I want them to be Red and dark gray?
Thanx for your help
Cheers

Hi there,

Take a look in the CSS, most of the layout & design is defined there. :)
